In the start of the spring I look forward to putting together a “Chicanos for Community Medicine” club at West Los Angeles Community College. After my first semester I am yet to find another individual on the same road that I am going towards medicine. I want to change that for my campus. I speak with many individual students on what I was told at these conferences that I have attended. I explain to them why it is important for us to come back to help and save our almost forgotten communities. I feel that establishing a CCM at my campus will help with many of us who aren’t exactly sure how to embark on this journey for higher education geared towards medicine. I plan to bring in Hispanic doctors to motivate my peers and to explain to us that we are never too small with in population to help start change. Once this club is established I also plan to fundraising and carpool so that interested pre-med students may visit medical schools at their pre-health conferences. I also aim towards establishing close relationships with administration to allow us to help promote health on campus through creating health fairs where we can set informational booths from local clinics ranging from self-care to more technical illness prevention
